On Call: Horror Tales from Residency

A long time ago, I wrote a blog called At the Still Point of the Turning World. I was a family practice resident at the time, and the blog was a way for me to share my experiences of professional training. Some of the most popular entries on Still Point were the blow-by-blow accounts of my nights on call. I didn't write very many of them, because being on call tended to sap the energy required to write about call. I'm glad I did write about some of them, however, because now they serve as a madeleine-like trigger to my memory of those days, when I underwent baptism by fire.
